This year has been a huge rollercoaster for my family. My husband was given a great opportunity with the company that the previous company so we made a drastic move to Atlanta, GA. A week after arriving my youngest turned one year old, and he started walking. We moved from a state that required no notice of homeschooling to a state that not only requires notice but also a monthly attendance record. We left behind our friends, our family and life as we know it.
Today, 5 months later we are looking to buy our first house here. We have joined a new church that is probably 50 times larger than the one we left behind. We are actively involved with AWANA, baseball, ballet and Playball. We have been more structured in our daily homeschool routine to fit the state requirements and we have also joined a homeschool group that does monthly field trips.
Life is chaotic and yet somehow perfect all at the same time.
We have found that our marriage is stronger, our family is tighter and our love for one another is fused. We have seen all of our weaknesses through this and have rejoiced in one another's strengths.
I would have to say that the one thing we are still missing in this picture are friends. We have met acquaintances but have not found those friends you can call on a whim and chat, or friends that you know you can count on in thick and thin. We have not found a person that just clicked.
We know God sent us here for a reason. We know and trust he has a plan for us. We are truly blessed by His Grace and overwhelmed by His Love. It is by His strength alone that we survived the first 5 months. :)
